This home theater speaker system is custom-configured for discerning listeners who demand the cleanest deep bass on the market. It's for people in their own homes only, though - otherwise the soundwaves could rattle your downstairs neighbor's dishes! The Axiom Epic 60 / 600 system adds state-of-the-art deep-bass performance to the M60s by combining the Epicenter EP600 DSP 600-watt subwoofer with the new VP160 center channel to present a seamless soundstage across your screen.
Ideal for rooms of 2,500 cu. ft. to 7,000 cu ft. with vaulted ceilings, "great rooms" and dedicated home theaters. The Epic 60 / 600 provides subsonic bass output as low as 12 Hz along with greater dialog intelligibility for larger rooms and greater listening distances. Additionally, listeners who expect loud, clean, and powerful playback levels of rock, rap, and classical bass, orchestral bass drum, pipe organ, and thrilling DVD movie playback will find it with this system. And the M60 main towers are 8 ohms, so large good-quality A/V receivers will easily drive them.
The Epicenter EP600 subwoofer achieves ultra-low bass with none of the uneven performance of conventional subs. The Axiom custom-programmed Intelligent DSP “algorithm” controls every frequency from 15 Hz to 100 Hz, maintaining a smooth, flat response within 1.5 dB across the range. That means you'll hear undistorted, profoundly deep rumbles all the way to 12 Hz or even deeper in typical rooms. And the sophisticated DSP chip inside prevents the EP500 from ever being overdriven into distortion.
The M60 main towers that anchor the system achieve wide dynamic range and excellent, clean, high-volume performance with an airy, spacious soundstage and neutral, high-accuracy music reproduction. At an attractive 37-inch height, the M60 features dual 6.5-inch aluminum-cone woofers, a dedicated 5.25-inch midrange, and a one-inch titanium-dome tweeter. The QS8 quadpolar surrounds, with four drivers each, deliver an astonishing sense of envelopment in the ambient soundfield with movies or music. Designed to place dialog right in the center of the action, the VP160 center channel features the same 6.5-inch woofers, 5.25-inch midwoofers, and 1-inch titanium tweeter as the floorstanding speaker, to create an open, spacious, seamless sound that pans across the front of your room smoothly, enveloping you in luscious sound. Coupled with the EP600 sub, the system will deliver realistic, high-volume multi-channel surround sound with music or movie soundtracks.
Professional ReviewsIndustry Reviews
"The Axiom M60 v2 performs so far above its price that it might be the best speaker bargain today for under $1000/pair." - Philip Beaudette, GoodSound
"Sonically, the Axiom Epic 60-500 system brought it all together, with frequency response as wide as one could want: true 20-20 kHz performance, exceptional dynamics, and a sound that was detailed and free of listener fatigue at virtually any level. Timbre matching was excellent... a high level of performance for the price. I liked its natural and effortless quality with both soundtracks and music, and highly recommend it..."
-- Andrew Marshall, Audio Ideas Guide
“ At a price-point of only a shade over $2,000, the "Epic 60" system delivers a bona fide value proposition at this level of performance . Those who take their home theater seriously could easily spend more, but the marginal increase in performance gleaned from a much more expensive system is not even remotely matched by the competitiveness of the "Epic 60's" pricing."

Regardless of the material, from the Nats drubbing the Cubs to Green Lantern zipping through the galaxy, the Epic 60•500 delivered measured, unfettered sound without artifice or compromise."
-- Kevin East, GoodSound.com - GoodSound Great Buy Award, 2012
"Axiom's Epic 60 home-theater speaker system is a remarkable value and a well-balanced system. This Axiom speaker ensemble performs exceptionally well, especially considering its more-than-fair price.

-- Vince Hanada, HometheaterSound, Reviewer's Choice Award, 2003
